Seventeen-year-old Grace Ann Miller is no ordinary runaway...

After having been missing for weeks, Grace is found on the estate of international rock star Gavin Vault, half-dressed and yelling for help. Over the course of twenty-four hours Grace holds an entire police force captive with incredulous tales of angels, demons, and war; intent on saving Gavin from lockup and her family from worry over her safety.

Authorities believe that Grace is ill, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the victim of assault and a severely fractured mind. Undeterred, Grace reveals the secret existence of dark angels on earth, an ancient prophecy and a wretched curse steeped in Biblical myth. Grace’s claims set into motion an ages-old war, resulting in blood, death and the loss of everything that matters. But are these the delusions of an immensely sick girl, or could Grace’s story actually be true?

Praefatio is Grace’s account of weeks on the run, falling in love and losing everything but her faith. When it’s sister against brother, light versus darkness, corrupt police officers, eager doctors and accusing journalists, against one girl with nothing but her word as proof: who do you believe?

“With Praefatio, Georgia McBride proves that you can take any genre to a higher level. This is teen fantasy at its most entertaining, most heartbreaking, most compelling. Highly recommended.” –Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author. (goodreads summary)

Lea raises her head from the stack of papers on her lap, which she's been reading pretty much the entire drive, trying to figure out the best way to approach a drug user even though I tried to tell her papers she printed out from a random website won't necessarily help her understand everything, just some things."I already told you I was, like a thousand times."

In Télesphore, the glowing color of a person’s palm determines their place in society, and touching hands with another mixes the colors permanently. When sixteen-year-old Bruno accidentally kills a royal soldier, he goes from favored to fugitive. Now Bruno's only chance at survival is to become someone else. That means a haircut, a change of wardrobe, and most important, getting rid of his once cherished Blue. Now he’s visiting parts of town he never knew existed, and making friends with people he would've crossed the street to avoid only weeks ago. At the last minute, Bruno’s parents arrange a deal to clear his name and get his life back. All Bruno has to do is abandon those in the Red slums that look to him as a leader and let an innocent Green boy die in his place.

Review-

An Uncommon Blue started off as a typical high school story about a jock, Bruno, taking finals, playing an important rugby game, getting hit on by numerous cute girls, and having a friend who is both annoying and loyal. Within the first page, though, the reader starts to understand that nothing is as it seems in this book. Bruno is a Blue and lives in an affluent part of town while Greens and Reds must live separately, as befitting their lower social status. Everything in Bruno's world depends upon what color the pouch on his hand is. Unfortunately for Bruno, an evil Green named Aaren sets Bruno up to be changed from Blue to Green.

Once Bruno is changed, the race to save his life is on. He has to leave everything and everyone behind to survive. He also has to help Baptiste, the young boy responsible for 'changing' Bruno. This book is so fast-paced and the characters are so vivid that I have to give it five stars. Any reader will find An Uncommon Blue to be enjoyable, fast-paced, exciting, and unexpected.
